Artikolu 6 Rekwiżiti ġenerali għall-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE
Artikolu 6 Rekwiżiti ġenerali għall-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE 1. Il-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE għandhom ikunu bbażati fuq il-prestazzjoni ambjentali tal-prodotti, b'kont meħud ta' l-aktar għanijiet strateġiċi reċenti tal-Komunità fil-qasam tal-ambjent. 2. Il-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE għandhom jistabbilixxu r-rekwiżiti ambjentali li jrid jissodisfa prodott sabiex ikollu fuqu l-Ekotikketta tal-UE. 3. Il-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE għandhom jiġu ddeterminati fuq bażi xjentifika b'kont meħud taċ-ċiklu ta' ħajja sħiħ tal-prodotti. Fid-determinazzjoni ta' dawn il-kriterji, għandhom jitqiesu dawn li ġejjin:
a) l-aktar impatti ambjentali sinifikanti, b’mod partikolari l-impatt fuq it-tibdil fil-klima, l-impatt fuq in-natura u l-bijodiversità, il-konsum tal-enerġija u tar-riżorsi, il-ġenerazzjoni tal-iskart, l-emissjonijiet lill-mezzi ambjentali kollha, it-tniġġis permezz ta’ effetti fiżiċi u l-użu u r-rilaxx ta’ sustanzi perikolużi;
b) is-sostituzzjoni ta' sustanzi ta' ħsara b'sustanzi li huma aktar siguri, bħala tali jew permezz tal-użu ta’ materjali jew tfassil alternattivi, kull fejn dan huwa teknikament fattibbli;
c) il-potenzjal li jitnaqqsu l-impatti ambjentali bis-saħħa tar-resistenza u tal-użu mill-ġdid tal-prodotti;
d) il-bilanċ ambjentali nett bejn il-benefiċċji u l-piżijiet ambjentali, inklużi aspetti ta' saħħa u sikurezza, fid-diversi stadji tal-ħajja tal-prodotti;
e) fejn xieraq, l-aspetti soċjali u etiċi, pereżempju billi ssir referenza għall-konvenzjonijiet u l-ftehimiet internazzjonali relevanti bħall-istandards rilevanti tal-ILO u l-kodiċi ta' kondotta;
f) il-kriterji stabbiliti għal tikketti ambjentali oħrajn, b'mod partikolari dawk rikonoxxuti uffiċjalment fuq livell nazzjonali jew reġjonali, tikketti ambjentali EN ISO 14024 tat-tip I, fejn dawn jeżistu għal dak il-grupp ta' prodotti biex jissaħħu s-sinerġiji;
g) sa fejn hu possibbli, l-prinċipju ta' tnaqqis ta' testijiet fuq l-annimali.
4. Il-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE għandhom jinkludu r-rekwiżiti maħsuba sabiex jiżguraw li l-prodotti li jkollhom fuqhom l-Ekotikketta tal-UE jiffunzjonaw b’mod adegwat skont l-użu ppjanat tagħhom. 5. Qabel jiġi żviluppat kriterju tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE għall-prodotti tal-ikel u tal-għalf, kif definiti fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 178/2002 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tat-28 ta' Jannar 2002 li jistipula l-prinċipji ġenerali u r-rekwiżiti tal-liġi dwar l-ikel, li jistabbilixxi l-Awtorità Ewropea għas-Sikurezza tal-Ikel u jistipula l-proċeduri fi kwistjonijiet ta' sikurezza tal-ikel (
3
), il-Kummissjoni għandha tagħmel studju, sal-31 ta’ Diċembru 2011 l-aktar tard, li jesplora l-fattibbiltà li jkunu stabbiliti kriterji affidabbli li jkopru l-prestazzjoni ambjentali ta’ dawn il-prodotti tul iċ-ċiklu tal-ħajja tagħhom, inklużi prodotti tas-sajd u l-akwakultura. L-istudju għandu jagħti attenzjoni partikolari għall-impatt ta’ kwalunkwe Ekotikketta tal-UE fuq prodotti tal-ikel u għalf, kif ukoll prodotti agrikoki mhux proċessati, li jaqgħu taħt il-kamp ta’ applikazzjoni tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 834/2007. L-istudju għandu jikkunsidra l-għażla li jkunu biss dawk il-prodotti ċertifikati bħala organiċi li jistgħu jkunu eliġibbli biex jirċievu l-għotja ta' Ekotikketta tal-UE, biex tkun evitata konfużjoni għall-konsumaturi. Il-Kummissjoni għandha tiddeċiedi, waqt li tqis l-eżitu tal-istudju u l-opinjoni tal-EUEB, għal liema grupp ta’ ikel u għalf, jekk ikun il-każ, huma fattibbli l-kriterji tal-Ekotikketta tal-UE, konformement mal-proċedura regolatorja bi skrutinju stabbilita fl-Artikolu 16(2). 6. L-Ekotikketta tal-UE ma għandhiex tingħata għal prodotti li jkun fihom sustanzi jew preparamenti/taħlitiet jistgħu ikunu kklassifikati bħala tossiċi, perikolużi għall-ambjent, karċinoġeniċi, mutaġeniċi jew tossiċi għar-riproduzzjoni (CMR), skont ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1272/2008 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tas-16 ta' Diċembru 2008 dwar il-klassifikazzjoni, l-ittikkettar u l-imballaġġ tas-sustanzi u t-taħlitiet (
4
), u lanqas ma għandha tingħata għal oġġetti li fihom sustanzi msemmija fl-Artikolu 57 tar-Regolament 1907/2006/KE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tat-18 ta' Diċembru 2008 dwar ir-reġistrazzjoni, il-valutazzjoni, l-awtorizzazzjoni u r-restrizzjoni ta' sustanzi kimiċi (REACH), li jistabbilixxi Aġenzija Ewropea għas-Sustanzi Kimiċi (
5
). 7. Il-Kummissjoni tista' tadotta miżuri biex tagħti derogi mill-paragrafu 6 għal kategoriji speċifiċi ta’ oġġetti li fihom sustanzi imsemmija fil-paragrafu 6, u biss fejn ma jkunx fattibbli li dawn ikunu sostituti bħala tali, jew permezz tal-użu ta' materjali jew tfassil alternattivi, jew fil-każ ta' prodotti li għandhom prestazzjoni ambjentali ġenerali ogħla sew meta mqabbla ma' prodotti oħra fl-istess kategorija. L-ebda deroga ma għandha tingħata fir-rigward ta' sustanzi li jissodisfaw il-kriterji tal-Artikolu 57 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1907/2006 u li jkunu identifikati skont il-proċedura deskritta fl-Artikolu 59(1) ta’ dak ir-Regolament, preżenti f’taħlitiet, f’artikolu jew fi kwalunkwe parti omoġenja ta’ artikolu kumpless f’konċentrazzjonijiet akbar minn 0,1 % (piż fuq piż). Dawk il-miżuri, maħsuba biex jemendaw elementi mhux essenzjali ta’ dan ir-Regolament, għandhom jiġu adottati skont il-proċedura regolatorja bi skrutinju msemmija fl-Artikolu 16(2). 1. Ħarsa ġenerali
| Titlu |
Regolamentazzjoni |
|
Article 6 1.
|
EU Ecolabel criteria shall be based on the environmental performance of products, taking into account the latest strategic objectives of the Community in the field of the environment.
|
|
Article 6 2.
|
EU Ecolabel criteria shall set out the environmental requirements that a product must fulfil in order to bear the EU Ecolabel.
|
|
Article 6 3.
|
EU Ecolabel criteria shall be determined on a scientific basis considering the whole life cycle of products. In determining such criteria, the following shall be considered:
(a)
the most significant environmental impacts, in particular the impact on climate change, the impact on nature and biodiversity, energy and resource consumption, generation of waste, emissions to all environmental media, pollution through physical effects and use and release of hazardous substances;
(b)
the substitution of hazardous substances by safer substances, as such or via the use of alternative materials or designs, wherever it is technically feasible;
(c)
the potential to reduce environmental impacts due to durability and reusability of products;
(d)
the net environmental balance between the environmental benefits and burdens, including health and safety aspects, at the various life stages of the products;
(e)
where appropriate, social and ethical aspects, e.g. by making reference to related international conventions and agreements such as relevant ILO standards and codes of conduct;
(f)
criteria established for other environmental labels, particularly officially recognised, nationally or regionally, EN ISO 14024 type I environmental labels, where they exist for that product group so as to enhance synergies;
(g)
as far as possible the principle of reducing animal testing.
|
|
Article 6 4.
|
EU Ecolabel criteria shall include requirements intended to ensure that the products bearing the EU Ecolabel function adequately in accordance with their intended use.
|
|
Article 6 5.
|
Before developing EU Ecolabel criteria for food and feed products, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (
3
), the Commission shall undertake a study, by 31 December 2011 at the latest, exploring the feasibility of establishing reliable criteria covering environmental performance during the whole life cycle of such products, including the products of fishing and aquaculture. The study should pay particular attention to the impact of any EU Ecolabel criteria on food and feed products, as well as unprocessed agricultural products that lie within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. The study should consider the option that only those products certified as organic would be eligible for award of the EU Ecolabel, to avoid confusion for consumers.
The Commission shall decide, taking into account the outcome of the study and the opinion of the EUEB, for which group of food and feed, if any, the development of EU Ecolabel criteria is feasible, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 16(2).
|
|
Article 6 6.
|
The EU Ecolabel may not be awarded to goods containing substances or preparations/mixtures meeting the criteria for classification as toxic, hazardous to the environment, carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR), in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (
4
), nor to goods containing substances referred to in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency (
5
). |
|
Article 6 7.
|
For specific categories of goods containing substances referred to in paragraph 6, and only in the event that it is not technically feasible to substitute them as such, or via the use of alternative materials or designs, or in the case of products which have a significantly higher overall environment performance compared with other goods of the same category, the Commission may adopt measures to grant derogations from paragraph 6. No derogation shall be given concerning substances that meet the criteria of Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and that are identified according to the procedure described in Article 59(1) of that Regulation, present in mixtures, in an article or in any homogeneous part of a complex article in concentrations higher than 0,1 % (weight by weight). Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 16(2).
